This morning I've finished to transcribe the #Comal 3.40 manual for #Amiga (originally provided as a plain text file) using #TriliumNotes .

As soon as I've finished with the internal links I will share it as downloadable:
- Trilium node
- HTML
- Markdown

I'll put it on my website and on @itchio .
Only basic HTML to allow #Amigans to browse it from their machines.

Comal is really nice, fully expandeble and filled with modern features for the time.

I see another project ahead!😁 :amiga:

January roundup! The post is public :)

About #COMAL for #Amiga ...

I can't understand how it is possible that I missed this language so advanced for the time.
I'm rewriting the manual to share it in HTML format (and also to understand this language in more depth), and from what I see it seems incredible for those times...

How is it possible that it has been almost forgotten? Or maybe it's just me who has never met this language on my path.

I'm getting the urge to use it for something 😁

Look at this! 😍

I've recently discovered a programming language for #Amiga (but also for other systems) called #COMAL / #UniCOMAL , from what I've understood there is also a version for #C64 !
Does anyone have an image of the floppy disks for Amiga? I would like to give it a try.
I've read the manual and seems interesting enough for me :amiga: 😃

@64er #COMAL, that's a language I haven't heard in a while!

@Computeum okay, this is the Tak function in COMAL 80. Highly recursive. This takes 392 seconds or so to print '7' on a C64:

```
0010 FUNC tak(x#,y#,z#)
0020 IF y#<x# THEN
0030 RETURN tak(tak(x#-1,y#,z#),tak(y#
-1,z#,x#),tak(z#-1,x#,y#))
0040 ELSE
0050 RETURN z#
0060 ENDIF
0070 ENDFUNC tak
0080 TIME 0
0090 PRINT tak(18,12,6)
0100 PRINT TIME/60,"s"
0110 END
```

If this is mashed, see: https://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=435899#p435899

The top ten #programming languages. Back in 2003 I started messing around in #python , a couple of years later some colleagues told me I should use only #java as Python was of no value... I think they got the wrong langauge, the one I used in school #comal was in the end of less use.

Nice arrival today. Came as part of a job lot I bought. #c64 #c128 #comal

Someone in the #Modelo advertising department thinks

1) abuelita drinks beer

2) flipping a handmade #tortilla on the #comal is too dangerous to do at home.

That someone is definitely not #Mexican.

No power on #Imbolc means hearth cooking and lamps like our Great-grandfolks used to do. Grilled cheese on the #comal and tomato soup in the cast iron pot.
